how to get the file from staging to workarea using update task in workflow

Hi,

We are using TS 7.3.2 and using the workflow task update task we are trying to fetch the file which is in the staging area to actual work area. If the file is having confilts we should be over writing the file from the staging area.

how ever when I am using the update taks its not over writng the files from staging its manually asking us to resolve coflicts .Even after doing the resolve conflits its not progressing

The following are the flags being used in the task

Delete - true

Lock - false

Over write mode - true

Transfer only - false

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Your description is unclear. You start off talking about updating the file in the workarea from the staging area but then you talk about problems with not overwriting the file in the staging area (which the updattask should not be used for)

While you noted some of the properties for the updatetask, you left out two important pieces:

- AreaVPath

- Source AreaVPath

The AreaVPath should be the workarea into which you wish to place the file

The Source AreaVPath should be the staging area from which you wish to copy the file

Assuming you have those both set correctly, and they are both referring to the same branch, the fact that you have Overwrite Mode set to "True" should work - unless perhaps the owner of the task does not have permissions to perform the operation - either due to their role, or due to folder / file permissions.

In the situation described above I follow the below steps:
A.Select the file you want to update
B. selet the "Compare " option

C.Here you get list all files in conflict.
D.Perform this for each file individually,Select the file and choose option"Overwrite"

Make sure to give full access to you or"iweveryone" group in that workarea and try "Unlocking" the files.The compare is for comparing the files with the STAGING.

What you described is the way to manually update one or more files from the UI.

What the OP described is attempting to do this within the context of a workflow using the files associated with the job as the list of files to be updated from Staging.
